Soft cover. Etat : Good. Unnumbered copy from a limited edition of 450 printed on hand-made Van Gelder paper with deckle-edges (limitation stated upon concluding page). xxxii, 77 pages. H 21cm x L 13.25cm. Bound in cream paper wraps over thin but fairly rigid cardstock with lettering and decoration to the spine and front wrap. Wraps are toned with moderate soiling with shallow loss at spine ends; slight bumping and nicks at corners. Underlying the cream wraps is peeled spine paper which, in turn, exposes quires. Binding remains fairly firm but with several stress points evident at quires. Cream silk page-marker sewn into binding but with some associated slender discoloration occurring to spine margins of pages 24-25; past owner's ink signature discreetly written at top of front flyleaf verso hidden underneath wrapper flap. Still a good copy of an uncommon title by the collectible Mosher Press. Foreword, Note, and three-scene play by Scottish poet, playwright, and literary biographer William Sharp (1855-1905) writing under the pseudonym of Fiona MacLeod.…

Etat : Trade paperback, New. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2025. Trade paperback, New, 295 pp. Cover artwork by: Dan Sauer "Scottish writer William Sharp (1855-1905) had already attained celebrity as a poet, critic, and fiction writer (including such weird stories as 'The Gypsy Christ' and 'The Graven Image') when, in the 1890s, he fashioned an alternate literary personality for himself: Fiona Macleod. Sharp came to believe that the soul of a woman lived within him, and he used this conception to produce an abundance of stories and poems that draw upon ancient Celtic myth. Oftentimes these works ventured into the realms of fantasy, terror, and the supernatural. Most famous is 'The Sin-Eater,' an unforgettable story of a man who ritually eats a cake laid upon the body of a dead man, thereby taking away his 'sins,' with unexpected and horrifying results. Other tales, such as 'Silk o' the Kine' and 'Ula and Orna,' are tales of romance that end with a supernatural climax. 'By the Yellow Moonrock' tells of a woman 'who could suck the soul out of a man through his lips.' Still other tales utilize Norse myth to create battle scenes reminiscent of Lord Dunsany and Robert E. Howard.". Dan Sauer (illustrateur).…
